[NLRS] Use of Light in VHF Contests

[jcplatt1 at mmm.com]

Hello NLRS land.   The ARRL's VHF UHF Advisory Committee (VUAC) has been
formally directed to review the adequacy of VHF Contest Rule 1.12 regarding
Light contacts.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>PUBLIC STATEMENT>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

   The ARRL VUAC has been directed to review VHF Contest  Rule 1.12 that
states "Above 300 GHz, contacts are permitted for contest  credit only
between licensed amateurs using coherent radiation on  transmission (for
example, laser) and employing at least one stage of  electronic detection
on receive"  to determine if the rule should be  modified to make it
clearer as to the meaning of coherence.  The VUAC  is interested in your
opinion and any suggestions that you may have.   Please forward your
comments to your Divisions VUAC representative.   Your Division VUAC
representative is listed at  http://www.arrl.org/contests/vuac.html)

Please provide me, your Dakota Division VUAC representative, with any
comments & suggestions that you may have on this subject.   If you are
outside of the Dakota Division, I would ask that you send your input to
your own VUAC representative - if you have any problems IDing your
representative, or cannot contact them for some reason, drop me a note.

73, Jon
